"I did a lot of research before hiring this company and am so gald I decided to go with them. I am thrilled with the job Ed and Len did installing two new exterior doors on my 95 year old house. It was not an easy job but they are both amazing crafsman and the end results are better that I could have imagined. Thank you Ed and Len for a wonderful job and going above and beyond. Thank you also to Amber and Dave. There is no doubt I will use this company again for any other projects I have in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a professional job done by a skilled and courteous team. Thank you all!"

"I have a few boxes for working with partners. 1) Consistent and transparent communication. I never had to wonder "Where's Josh" from the initial bid until the end of the project. 2) Deliver what you say you will deliver. Josh delivered and then some! 3) Fair and equitable - unbelievable value for the price! As said by others, easily the best price. And 4) Quality product. Best comment I can give here is that I'm a happy customer and the deck is beautiful and safe!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving. 

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
